Another lost gem of 70's soul.If you found Soul Children great, this one will blow your mind!
Excellent
work from this oft-overlooked southern soul singer! Tommie's got deep
deep style that'll knock you flat if you dig southern soul or hard soul
-- especially the small label, indie-type variety! Bobby Patterson
wrote most of the tracks on this debut album, and the se

AMG: Without a doubt, Two Steps From the Blues
is the definitive Bobby "Blue" Bland album and one of the great records
in electric blues and soul-blues. In fact, it's one of the key albums
in modern blues, marking a turning point when juke joint blues were
seamlessly blended with gospel and Southern soul, creating a distinctly
Southern sound where all of these styles blended so thoroughly it was
impossible to tell where one began and one ended. Given his Memphis
background, Bobby "Blue" Bland was perfectly suited for this kind of
amalgam as envisioned by producer/arranger Joe Scott, who crafted these

 Truly magical stuff this first album by this little-known but magnificent Latin Rock band. Worth it just for ''Suavecito'', an amazing lowrider anthem,
Jorge Santana(Carlos
Brother) plays lead guitar on this album, but Malo's sound incoporates
more vocals and percussion into the music which contrasts Carlos
Santana's guitar-focused style. Lots of great percussion sounds fill
this record as well as romantic spanish lyrics

Blue Magic is a true 'soul' group!
After 25 years of listening to them, I am finally collecting their
albums! The standout track is 'What's come over me' (featuring Margie
Joseph). The interaction between Ms. Joseph and Blue Magic's lead
singer was something that stuck back in '75.
An underrated group and album that i consider is one of the most important in soul funk area. The Group Theodore Ted "Wizard" Mills - lead Keith "Duke" Beaton – tenor Wendell Sawyer – baritone Vern

One of the most popular smooth soul groups
of the early '70s didn't hail from Philadelphia or Memphis, the two
cities known for sweet, string-laden soul. Instead, the Chi-Lites were
from Chicago, a town better known for its gritty urban blues and
driving RB. Led by vocalist Eugene Record, the Chi-Lites had a lush,
creamy sound distinguished by their four-part harmonies and layered
productions. During the early '70s, they racked up11 Top Ten RB singles,
ranging from the romantic ballads "Have You Seen Her" and "Oh Girl" to
protest songs like "(For God's Sake) Give More Power to the People" and
"There Will Never Be Any Peace (Until God Is Seated at the Conference
Table)."

A
loose concept album about the consequences of a love affair with a
married man, viewed from various sides. The opening suite "If Lovin' You Is Wrong I Don't Want To Be Right/The Rap," a raid on Isaac Hayes's string-heavy slow funk stew, is one of the greatest recordings I've ever heard,

Perhaps this is the most sought after album from Africa. The 3 members,
Berkely Jones, Laolu Akintobi and Mike Odumosu created the name BLO
from B for Berkely, L for Laolu and O for Odumosu. 2 members toured
with Ginger Baker in 1972 and BLO supported Osibisa on tour in Nigeria.
At that time BLO was voted as the best band in Nigeria.
